Best for

  • Design Terraform module libraries with proper versioning and composition patterns for multi-cloud deployments
  • Implement GitOps workflows with Atlantis or Terraform Cloud for pull request-based infrastructure changes
  • Set up remote state management with locking, encryption, and cross-team collaboration strategies
  • Build drift detection pipelines with automated remediation for infrastructure compliance
  • Create multi-environment promotion strategies using workspaces or directory structures

What you'll get

  • Complete Terraform module library with typed variables, outputs, and composition examples plus remote state backend configuration
  • GitOps pipeline definition with branch protection, automated planning, and approval workflows integrated with CI/CD
  • Multi-environment architecture with workspace strategy, variable management, and promotion workflows with drift detection
Not designed for ↓
  • ×Writing application code or business logic - this is infrastructure-only
  • ×Manual server provisioning or configuration management without code
  • ×Database administration or application deployment strategies
  • ×Basic cloud console operations or one-off resource creation
Expects

Clear infrastructure requirements including target cloud platforms, compliance needs, team structure, and existing state management approach.

Returns
